"One of the biggest LIES told by modern Republicans is the mistaken idea that America was founded as a "nation of individuals" or on "rugged individualism". Now it is true the Founders of the United States thought all people (all individuals) deserved certain basic rights. However, the Founders also believed in the importance of: 1. Shared responsibility 2. Government 3. Public institutions We do ourselves a great DISSERVICE when we allow the LIE that says America was founded on the "individual" alone to persist rather than acknowledging that this nation was founded not only on the idea of personal liberty, but also on the idea that ALL individuals bear RESPONSIBILITIES to society at large."
